2024 KIA EV6 Horizon Electric · RA24 UKF

The vehicle has a current roadworthy status, with the most recent MOT on 2026-06-30 at 61,712 miles showing no critical failures. However, recurring advisories for worn tyres and slight play in the nearside front track rod end ball joint suggest a pattern of deferred maintenance. The tyre wear issues have persisted across multiple tests, indicating a lack of timely replacements despite repeated warnings. Mileage accumulation has been rapid relative to the vehicle’s age. From 27,162 miles in June 2025 to 61,712 miles by June 2026, the car has gained nearly 35,000 miles in 12 months, averaging over 2,900 miles per month. This high usage contrasts with the vehicle’s 2024 model year, suggesting either heavy driving or inconsistent maintenance intervals. The absence of MOT records between December 2025 and June 2026 raises questions about whether interim checks were performed. Recurring advisories for tyre wear and suspension components warrant immediate attention. The nearside front track rod end ball joint has shown slight play since at least June 2025, indicating potential wear in the steering system that could worsen over time. Tyre damage, including cuts and edge wear, has appeared intermittently, with two instances of near-legal limits in the most recent test. Buyers should inspect the suspension for looseness, check for uneven tyre wear patterns, and verify the condition of all four tyres, particularly the nearside rear and front edges. The vehicle’s history implies a need for diligent mechanical oversight. While no structural rust or severe mechanical failures are documented, the combination of high mileage and repeated advisories suggests that consumables and wear-prone parts may require frequent replacement. Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of the brakes, suspension bushings, and tyre tread depth, as well as checking for corrosion in wheel arches and undercarriage components. Addressing these areas preemptively could mitigate future safety risks.
